“Must see… Awake’s first episode has few equals in VR. It’s a piece that understands the purpose of telling a story in VR and isn’t afraid to wrestle with new ways of involving you in a story. For that alone, you need to see it.”
~ Jamie Feltham, Upload VR

Harry

Harry is a man haunted, by his past, his mistakes but mostly by himself. He is a man of extraordinary ability but must learn a much needed lesson before he can accept himself.

Rose

Every kite needs a line to stop it flying away and Rose is this for Harry. Rose is there for Harry even though he makes a terrible judgement error. And so Rose must be patient. After all she has no choice.

The Shadow

Harry is plagued by voices and messages he doesn’t want to hear. This shadowy character is at the centre of it all and Harry blames this dark force for his situation.

Glyph

This is the source of Harry’s obsession for answers. He dreams of this impossible shape turning over and over that seems to hold a message. But what is the message?

Storm in a Tea Cup

The appearance of this impossible item in Harry and Rose’s life signals the ultimate turning point. Beautiful and ominous in equal measure, there are big questions around how such a thing can even exist in reality.

Cube Artifact

For Harry the cube artifact is connected to the dream Glyph is some unfathomable way. But for Rose, the cube represents past pain with a slim hope of saving Harry from himself.
